Heifer U: Women in a Developing World
In the world of an increasing inequality between the rich and the poor, there is ample evidence that women and girls are disproportionately represented among the poor. In developing countries, women are responsible for 60% of the food production, and yet their voices are not often heard in their community's decision making. This program will delve deeper into Heifer's work promoting gender equity as not only a social justice issue but also a practical tool of sustainable development.
